The London Mayor let rip on the lunchtime bulletin when he was on the campaign trail ahead of Thursday’s local elections.

Boris, who has already called his Labour mayoral rival Ken Livingstone a “f***ing liar”, had been accused of trying to win sponsorship from Rupert Murdoch’s News International to fund city projects.

BBC London’s Political Editor Tim Donovan claimed he was after money to pay for a cable car over the River Thames while Scotland Yard was investigating phone hacking.

But furious Boris hit back, saying: “I’m very proud that over the last four years we’ve got more than £100million in sponsorship that I’ve raised for this city: £50m for the bikes, £36m for the cable car.

“You’ve got to get this on the air! Come on, this is the most important thing. Stuff Donovan and his f***ing bollocks.”

The BBC bleeped out his “colourful” language and apologised to viewers.
